Leeds United have offered chances to Jamie Shackleton since Marcelo Bielsa took charge and he is expected to start this evening.
Bielsa did a great deal of research before taking on the Leeds job, and watched hours of video material.
Shackleton was one of the players who caught his eye, prior to his move to Yorkshire.
And he said: “I saw a dynamic player. He makes choices that correspond to the skills he has. And that is very hard to achieve in football. Simple. He is a player who plays simple, he does many movements by surprise. He’s dynamic.”
Bielsa has already shown great faith in Shackleton, and seems to view the youngster as a prominent part of his first-team.
The Argentine boss brought Shackleton on during Leeds’ last match against Derby County, to help his side see out the game.
Shackleton was entrusted to enter the field with Leeds 4-1 up at Pride Park, and he did not look out of place.
Shackleton is now expected to make his full debut for Leeds tonight, when they take on Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup.
